About this position
PhD position available for a joint project between the Environmental Adaptation & Cellular Resilience Lab at the Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine (IUF) and Prof. Alessandro Prigione’s lab at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf / University Hospital Düsseldorf.
The DFG-funded project will study mitochondrial DNA heteroplasmy during the reprogramming of human cells into iPSCs and their differentiation into neurons. The research combines human iPSC models, neuronal differentiation, organoids, long-read mtDNA sequencing, bioinformatics, genome editing, and small-molecule screening.
Location: Düsseldorf, Germany. Start: ideally 1 October 2026. Duration: 3 years. Funding: TV-L E13, 65%.
Applicants should hold a relevant Master’s degree and have hands-on experience in mammalian cell culture. Experience with iPSCs, neuronal differentiation, organoids, genome engineering, mitochondrial biology, or NGS data analysis is a plus.
To apply, email your application with the reference “285E/26 DFG-Mito PhD Position” to bewerbung@iuf-duesseldorf.de and bewerbung@med.uni-duesseldorf.de.
